Feature request: Open new tab right next to current tab (with a separate key shortcut)

Reported by ville.ha...@gmail.com, Aug 2 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version       : 59.0.3071.115 (Official Build) (64-bit)
URLs (if applicable) : -
Other browsers tested: N/A

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Ctrl+T or File -> New Tab

What is the expected result?
A new feature for adding An option to open a new tab right next to the current one would be handy. With a huge number of tabs open the current approach of always appending the new tab as a last is not very handy.

What happens instead?
A new tab is added as last entry in tabs list with a predefined keyboard shortcut (e.g. Ctrl+Alt+T)

Please provide any additional information below. Attach a screenshot if
possible.

There's no need to set a target milestone for a P3 feature request. We have many more urgent issues.

The utility of this is reasonably low, and the discoverability of such a keyboard shortcut is very low.

Workaround: ctrl-shift-click a link on the current page to open that link in a new tab to the right of the current one.  Then hit ctrl-L to focus the omnibox and navigate elsewhere.
